Based on the route descriptions, I was expecting to see throngs of people in this slot. However, I seemed to have the whole canyon to myself. I took my time and didn't see anyone. Beautiful slot, and the Great Cathedral rappel was fantastic. Though perhaps the most interesting part of the day was staggering up exit in a wetsuit to a stopped bus full of European tourists taking my picture. Sweet.

I have been there with 6 othere members from LV Rock climbing meetup group. This was my first canyoneering and didn't have wet suits. Water was cold even in the middle of summer. I was keep shivering in the entire canyon until bottom of 100 ft rappel.
This canyon is not very long and can finish in few hous.

Combined with Ashtar Tower for a relaxed day at Zion. With Joe A., Adam and Joanna....met Joe French at the parking lot going in when we were leaving....Zach told me he and Joe F. set the record for this canyon...now Joe F tells me he set the solo record....he jumped vs rapped, no rope...less than 30 minutes...maniac I say...can skirt the last huge rap to the left he says, please do not jump that one! So a Monday, not a holiday...still ran into Courtney, Zach, Joe F, another partner of Joe A''s along with several other folks we knew who were kayaking the Virgin that day...unreal for a Monday I thought. Life is good.

Although relatively short, this one can be surprising. Once, in June, the slot was dry, hot, and fairly unmemorable. Less than two months later the slot was a mess of broken timbers, deep muddy pools, and long, cold swims--a significantly different experience and much more memorable.
